My Safe Florida Home
The My Safe Florida Home Program provides free wind mitigation inspections to eligible homeowners who apply using the My Safe Florida Home portal. These comprehensive assessments evaluate a home’s construction to identify any structural weaknesses or areas that could be reinforced to better withstand Florida’s high winds. Nine Square Roofing is a qualified My Safe Florida Home Program contractor.
Any owner of a site-built, single-family residential house or townhouse can apply. Applications will be approved in the order received (based on qualifying criteria) until funding runs out for the given year. Additionally, a Matching Grant Program exists for home construction improvements. Receiving a grant helps a homeowner make recommended upgrades identified during the wind mitigation inspection.
How The My Safe Florida Home Program Helps You Save Money
The state is offering a Matching Grant to help cover costs for approved hurricane protection projects for your home. For every $1 you contribute toward an eligible home construction improvement, the state will match $2 (up to a maximum of $10,000) in state-provided funds. Thus, you might only pay 1/3 of the total project cost, with the state covering the remaining 2/3.
Making hurricane safety improvements to your home through the My Safe Florida Home Program may reduce your homeowner’s insurance premiums. Strengthening your home against storm damage can demonstrate lower risk to your insurance provider. Contact your insurance agent to apprise them of any modifications made to your home and provide written proof.
Understanding The My Safe Florida Home Program
Once your application has been approved for your free wind-mitigation inspection, an assigned inspector will complete a thorough evaluation of your home. The inspector will identify areas where your home can use increased strength and protection.
After the inspection, if your home has been approved for a Matching Grant, the My Safe Home Program will provide you with a list of local contractors (including Nine Square Roofing) who have agreed to perform home construction improvements.
This grant can be used for approved repairs and improvements as listed below:
- Upgraded Roof Coverings
- Improved Strength of Roof Decking Attachments
- Reinforced Roof-To-Wall Connections
- Secondary Water Barrier Installation for the Roof
- Exterior Door Upgrades
- Garage Door Upgrades
- Window Upgrades
(Please note that townhouses are not eligible for roof repairs)
